While I exclusively use Linux at home and I recommend it to everyone especially on desktop, they mentioned battery life and from my experience that isn't its strong suit.

Get your ticket to that wheel in space while there's time, the fix is in!

No I hate the stock ones too

I have a small dumb TV I got fairly recently from Best Buy. It's their store brand and has no smart features. Only 720p but they had some 1080p ones too. They're nothing special but very cheap. Mine was an open box and I got it for maybe 40 or 50 dollars.

In Northern California my AC is off as much as I can help it. When it's on it's set at 82. Energy bill is still at least $250 for my one bedroom apartment...

How do you stand those things?? I've tried dollar tree headphones and they were awful awful. I like VE monks as beaters

I really like lemmy. A lot of people with similar interests as me here.

Seeing a lot of complaints about controversial communities, but I for one actually like them. I like the entertainment value of the drama, arguments, and trolling.

I am sick of people removed about these instances. If you don't like their content then join an instance that is defederated from them. It's that simple.

I've run into these issues in the few years since I've switched. Old outdated stuff or windows exclusive software can be a hassle to get running. Possible, but your putting a square peg in a round hole.

Were flatpaks a thing when you tried Linux last? Flatpak makes installing most programs extremely easy. I just search my distros software store and hit install. As a bonus, you often get newer versions than when you install software traditionally, and updates can be set to automatically download.

I've run Pop OS since 2019. I have never reinstalled and I only touch the terminal maybe once every 6 months. Absolutely everything I do is GUI.
